The Buckeye Machine Co., with

received the second carload of their

tured by this old reliable company

which Owosso becomes State head

this dong away with the agent or

business consists only in the commits
sions he may get out of it under his sea-
sons contract. Every farmer who has
an eye to his future interest will see the
advantage to himself in buying ma
chimes direct from the company,
whose object IN this arrang ment is
to more fully protect their trade by
being in position to take proper care
of their macines after as we'll as at

ceives his commissions. This is worth
thinking about.

Sells Soul-Stirring Races.
OLD ROMAN GLoRIEs REDIDIvUs.


Prominent among the recently ad-
ded features of Sells Brothers estab-
lishment, which exhibits in Owosso,
Monday, May 20. is the revival of the
Roman hippodrome. This is general
ly conceded to be the most preten.
tious reproduction of the races and
revels of imperial Rome that has ever
been seen in this country. The or
ganization and perfection Of this de-
partment of the show has been a
matter Of pride with the Messrs. Sells
and they have spared no energy or
expense 10 accomplish their purpose
of possessing the one complete and
sumptuous hippodrome of modern
times. All of the old Roman races,
including two and four horse chariot
contests, will be given with startling
realism. There will also be gentle.
mems jockey races, a ladies' steeple
chase, races between elephants,
camels and ostriches, pony races with
monkey drivers, laughable mule
race, IN which the hybrids will be
ridden by coal black negro boys, an
obstacle race, etc. A number of con.
tests never fore given in hippo,
drome, will be introduced. Among
them are trotting race to sulkies,
open TO local competition. The
Messrs. Sells will present their cele
brated trotters, Steal Away and Pu-
laski, in this race and in the event of
there being no outside entries, these
two flyers will contest for supremacy.
Another notable novelty will be the
artillery race. This will undoubtedly
be the most stirring feature of the
long exciting series of races. A stud
of sixty thoroughbred equincs rid.
den and driven by professional jock
eys and characters, will be brought
into requisition in these hippodrome
contests.
The hook and ladder race, the
broadsword combat on horseback, the
performances Of Alexander McGreg.
or's Scotch athletes, and Pawnee
Bills illustrations OF life in the Wild
West also take place on the big hip
podrome track.

KNIGHTS Of Pythias.

A lodge of this order was instituted
in this city Monday evening, and a
great many people have an idea that
this and like organizations are enter.
ed into by people more of idle Curl
oslty than because of principles or
morality, we give short synopsis of
the declaration of principles of the
Knights of Pythias.
Recognizing the universally of
of human brotherhood, its organiza
ton is designed to embrace the world
within its Observation-Disclosures
solely and only 10 disseminate the
the grea: principles of Friendship,
Charity and Benevolence, nothing of
a sectarian or political character is
permitted within its portals. Toer-
alton in religion, obedience 10 law,
and loyalty to government, are its
cardinal principals. Misfortune,
misery and death being written in
fearful characters on the broad face
Of creation, this noble order was in
stituted to uplift the fallen; to
champion humanity; to be its guide
and our hope, its refuge, shelter and
defence; to soften down the asperities
Of life; to subdue party spirit; and by
the powerful attractions of the
glorious trinity of Friendship, Charity
and Benevolence, to bind in one har.
monious brotherhood, men of all
classes and opinions. The brightest
jewels which it gamers are the tears
of widows and orphans, and its i'm.
beyahSe commands are to visit the
homes where lacerated hearts are
bleeding; 10 assuage the suferings of
OF a brother and educate the orphan;
to exercise charity towards offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their
least unfavoraLle light, granting hon
esty of purpose and good intentions
to others; and to protect the princi.
Piles of Knighthood. Its laws are
reason and equity, its cardinal doc
trines inspire purity of thought and
life and love Of truth, and loyalty to
the government under which we. live;
its intention is peace on earth and
good will toward man.

the man and the donkey. ANY man,

wants II, or even refuse to take drink
when he doesn't want one. But it takes

sraANo1 SUGGESTIONS.
The Belief in witchcraft In southern
Indiana sixty Years Ago.

Indiana sixty Years Ago.
About sixty years ago. says t1ne
Vevay Qnd. Reveiile, many OF tho peo'
pie residing in the neighborhood Of
East Enterprise were possessed of AIDE
fusion that witches were reality. land
that number of their ncighbors 3ere
full fedged witches, possessed Of re-
markable powers, even 10 saddling and
bridlng a man and with sharp spurs
riding him all over the worst roads q
distorted mind could imagine. !The
next morning the poor man would be
30 tired and sore that he could hardly
move. At other times the housewife
would churn half day and not get a
particle of butter. The only remedy
was to take an old horseshoe that had
been worn on the left foot of a baldface
horse and heat it hot and drop it into
the churn, which was pretty certain to
expel the terrible witch.
One who tried the experiment said;
"When dropped the red-hot shoe into
the churn / heard something run of
the roof of the house, and smelt hair
just MS sure as you are born. and in five
minutes | had churn nearly full OF
butter. The next day saw the woman
that believe had bewitched the butter,
and her hair was crisped on one side
in the very shape of horseshoe.
II the above remedy failed, the next
thing to do was to draw lfe-size pic
ture Of the supposed witch and nail it
up on tree, and then run Il silver bull
let out of silver dollar and shoot the
image. The last act was considered u
complete cure. One of the ardent be-
levers in witches, man in the prime
of life. possessed of fair sense in other
matters, told in our hearing what
trying ordeal he had passed through a
few evenings before. He had been 10
visit the sick. and was returning about
10 o'clock, through the fields, often
climbing high fences. Finally, rs he
got up on high ten-rail fence, with
one leg thrown over the top rail, he
saw standing on the other side one
whom he knew to be a witch" She
said nothing, but put spell on him
that rivited him to the spot, and he said
he was as speechless as Lots wife when
she turned into salt. When daylight
came the witch had vanished, and he
got over the fence and went home. He
says the top rail was very sharp one,
and he didn't get over his soreness for
month.
When the hens failed to hatch their
eggs it was laid on the witches. The
witches always did their worst work on
Friday. II the rail fences fell down
when they were covered with sleet and
ice the witches were blamed for it, II
calf got choked on apples or potatoes
the witches were responsible. 1t is q
fact not to be wondered at that every
one of these believers in witches belev-
ed the "world to be flat" Many OF
them would have hanged the supposed
witches. as their ignorant forefathers
did in the early day, if thew had been
possessed Of the power. Two of the
men snapped wives for Il month or so
and it was all laid at the doors of tho 50
